Sure you're not a med student?! Great question. If the patient is not significantly overweight, it would be possible to see the scar on abdominal sono, but in many cases this would be technically difficult. Also, I doubt it is reproducible from examiner to examiner. I have often wondered about using a flexible hysteroscope, which has a thin diameter, to visualize the scar by placing it through the cervix and into the uterus. However, these are expensive, and each labor unit would need to have a couple of these. It would be academically interesting, but not very practical.

I have the day off since I've had about 6 hours sleep in the last 48 hours. Sometimes I wish my nice pregnant ladies would just come in, have a baby, and leave a couple of days later. Unfortunately, the last couple of days have been very rough with regards to complications. So, I'm giving my brain a rest and going to ride some rollercoasters at Universal! Have a nice day.
